Atlanta Criminal Defense Lawyers at Pak and McRae Explain What Happens when You Fail to Appear in Court

    ATLANTA, GA, June 27, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When you miss your scheduled court date for a criminal or traffic violation, there are some serious repercussions that follow. A failure to appear puts you in FTA status (failure to appear) and can result in the issuance of a bench warrant for your arrest by the judge, and the suspension of your license.

If you are in FTA status and a bench warrant has been issued for your arrest, you need to consult a criminal defense attorney in Atlanta to handle your case immediately. An attorney can help you avoid worsening your circumstances by scheduling a FTA hearing before a judge. This hearing gives you the chance to have your charges reviewed by a judge. An attorney can file documents with the court to prevent an arrest warrant from ever being issued for your failure to appear or request that a warrant be withdrawn before an arrest takes place.

"People miss court for many reasons, but many people are not aware of the consequences of missing a court date and simply think they can reschedule or the court will forget; nothing could be further from the truth. Whenever you have a court date, you need to scrupulously honor the time and date set forth for your appointment. If you do happen to miss a court date, you need to contact an Atlanta criminal defense attorney immediately to ensure the best outcome," says Sam McRae, Attorney at Pak and McRae.
